FEC Commissioners Thomas and Toner Propose Final FEC Rule on 527s

Bob Bauer has posted the proposed final rule, as well as a bit of explanation about the rule, here. It is not at all clear that this rule, or something like it, would obtain a vote of a majority of the commissioners. From reports of last month’s hearing, as well as press reports, it looks as though Commissioners McDonald, Smith, and Weintraub may not be willing to sign on to a rule such as this one. It will take a vote of four commissioners to enact a final rule.
